THE aims of the Great March of Return protests, which began in Gaza on March 30 2018 are to put an end to the suffocating Israeli siege and to implement the right of return for Palestinian refugees who were expelled from their homes and towns in historic Palestine 70 years ago.
But there is much more to the March of Return than a few demands, especially bearing in mind the high human cost already associated with it — according to Gaza’s ministry of health, over 250 people have been killed and 6,500 wounded, including children, medics and journalists.
Aside from the disproportionately covered “flaming kites” and youth symbolically cutting through the metal fences used to besieged them for many years, the march has been largely non-violent.
